Posted to devel list and package owners on 21 Aug 2013: What's the full story here? php-gettext php-gettext-0:1.0.11-5.fc20.noarch isn't obsoleted php-gettext-0:1.0.11-4.fc19.noarch isn't obsoleted php-gettext-0:1.0.11-3.fc18.noarch isn't obsoleted php-gettext-0:1.0.9-3.fc15.noarch is oldest php-gettext < 0:1.0.11-3 obsoleted by php-php-gettext-0:1.0.11-8.fc20.noarch Searching a bit, there has been a rename to php-php-gettext and plans to retire php-gettext because it conflicts with the core module, but the package has been kept in the dist and mass-rebuilt several times: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=9618 So, meanwhile, the Obsoletes tag is insufficient, and the package is available again. Is this intentional? Else, please retire it: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_remove_a_package_at_end_of_life # repoquery --whatprovides php-gettext php-common-0:5.5.2-1.fc19.x86_64 php-common-0:5.5.2-1.fc19.i686 php-common-0:5.5.0-0.10.RC3.fc19.i686 php-common-0:5.5.1-1.fc19.x86_64 php-gettext-0:1.0.11-4.fc19.noarch php-common-0:5.5.0-0.10.RC3.fc19.x86_64 php-common-0:5.5.1-1.fc19.i686
I needed gettext for PHP for phpMyAdmin. However we figured then out that php-gettext was in dual-use (PHP internal and separate package) and thus it got php-php-gettext. The separate package php-gettext must be orphaned to avoid conflicting the core module of the PHP main package.
